First - module is working great w/ both IE and FireFox - thanks for creating it. This module makes Drupal a viable option in my corp environment. Without it - Drupal would not work here.

However, I can no longer log in as admin. Has anyone figured out a workaround for this?

I don't think I can talk my systems department into giving me a login called admin (and judging from http://drupal.org/node/239101 that might not work anyway).

I'm not too thrilled with the idea of opening up free access to update.php and I'm wondering if there are other impacts of 'no admin account' that I haven't found yet :)

thanks,
Dennis

This is a known issue with Webserver_auth module. I created a patch that resolves this problem. It is available at http://drupal.org/node/22981#comment-1024492.

Paul Kishimoto recently took over as maintainer of this module. Hopefully he will be able to commit this patch soon.

When a new module is enabled, you will typically need the admin account to set the new permission entries.

When installing drupal - give the admin role the same username you login to windows with. This will mean you will always be logged in as admin.

That probably would have worked, but my initial install was 6 months ago. I finally ended up with a viable workaround. I found my AD user name in the authmap table and changed the uid to 1 - logs me into admin. Course I have to change it back to my original uid to log in as myself. A bit of a pain, but it does seem to work.

thanks
